I started tracking website hits on May 09, 2007, a few weeks after the site was born. At 1:48pm today, wisconsinkubb.com had its 10,000 visitor. Sandwiched between Madison (WI), Des Moines (IA), Rochester (NY), and Germantown (MD), someone in Big Lake, MN was the 10,000 visitor. Thanks to everyone.

Today, one of the 10 time world champions sent me a video from the 2009 World Championship final match in Sweden. Enjoy. What a great environment. Also, August set a monthly record for number of visitors on the website, with 1,013 visitors, which broke the previous high of 877 from July 2008.

At the WHYS Radio Bluegrass Festival today, we had four pitches going at one time. With an international student contingent from the U, we had players from China, Germany, Serbia, Sweden, and the U.S. In some parts of the world, that is something special. Here, in Nya Gotland (New Gotland), it is just another Saturday.

If you were there in the afternoon on August 8th, you will forever remember the 2009 Championship as the Championship when the heavens opened up. Congratulations to the Savage Stick Flickers from Savage, MN. I would like to thank all the sponsors, participants, spectators, volunteers, Girls on the Run of Eau Claire County for serving food, the Red Cedar River Yacht Club for the additional silent auction items, and my buddy Ethan Stapp for making the trophies way out in Helena, MT. We raised $2900. See you next year.

As kubb teams and their battle cries begin to descend on Eau Claire, it is 62 degrees and a light steady rain is blanketing the city. The forecast for the Championship is partly cloudy with a slight chance of storms. High in the upper 80s. The pitches are marked and ready for battle.

It has been accomplished. 48 teams are signed up to play kubb in Eau Claire in one week. Some said it could not be done. Never underestimate the kubbolution. We will be taking additional registrations, in case a team or two needs to cancel.

There are now 42 teams signed up for the tournament. Teams are coming from six states. Ann Arbor will be in Eau Claire, again, after making the trip back in 2007. We will stop registration at 48 teams, so register now. The trophies are making their way from Helena, Montana. Eric will be on our ABC morning show on the 28th and on the NBC station Tuesday next week. Promos are running on both WHYS and WIEC radio stations. The t-shirts have been picked up. Posters are up all around town.

Chippewa Valley Community TV was nice enough to tape and run a promo over the next three weeks. A few too many "come on downs", but hey, it is all about the kubbolution.

The day is not even over yet, and the website has had hits from Argentina, Iceland, Norway, Germany, Sweden, and 11 U.S. states. There are now 31 teams signed up and Madison will be on a pitch.
